Red-Band Trailer of Hammer of the Gods Premieres on IGN

IGN premiered the brand new red-band trailer for Magnet Releasing’s “Hammer of the Gods.” You can check out the trailer at IGN or below the post (at your peril). The poster is also below for your perusal.

The film, directed by Farren Blackburn, stars Charlie Bewley, Elliot Cowan, Clive Standen, Guy Flanagan and Michael Jibson. If you’re a Viking fan, you’ll love “Hammer of the Gods,” which is set in Viking Britain:

“Set in Viking Britain in 871 AD, Hammer of the Gods is a visceral, intense tale set in a world whose only language is violence. A young Viking warrior, Steinar (Charlie Bewley), is sent by his father the king on a quest to find his estranged brother, who was banished from the kingdom many years before. Steinar’s epic journey across terrifyingly hostile territory gradually sees him emerge as the man his father wants him to be – the ruthless and unforgiving successor to his throne.”
